Wine is bottled poetry -Robert Louis Stevenson
South Africa is considered a new world wine country, but the wine making tradition dates back to over 350 years to 2 February 1659, when the first grapes were pressed and South Africa's wine story began.
South Africa is the 7th largest producer of wine in the world, with Chenin Blanc the most widely planted variety.
We have made the choice to support farms that promote conservation to allow our children
the opportunity to experience nature as it should be. More than 60% of our wines have the BWI accreditation
where farms commit to leave one hectare natural vegetation for every hectare planted.
Various farms listed on our wine list are in the process of acquiring accreditation and we hope to increase this number.

The Gin & tonic has saved more Englishmen's lives and minds than all the doctors in the empire -Winston Churchill
For the gin lovers, we have an extensive Gin Bar including top local and imported craft gins.
While South Africa might be more famous internationally for its award-winning wineries,
it’s also one of the world’s ten top gin consumers. It’s said that gin first arrived to South Africa during the
British colonial period. During the 19th century, the gin and tonic
wasn’t just the trendy and most gloriously refreshing thing to drink – it was also one of the safest.
For troops stationed in tropical or sub-tropical climes, the quinine in tonic water helped to ward off malaria, but its bitter taste made it unpleasant without a heady pour of sweet, botanical gin.
Today South Africa has a handful of large-scale distilleries as well as several independent producers too. One is the Inverroche distillery in the Eastern Cape who produces three gins flavoured with everything
from native South African flowers to cardamom pods.
